According to academic journal Enhancing Accountability and Trust with Independent Investigations of Police Lethal Force by Walter Katz, local prosecutors are not immune from bias. When a cop is under investigation the prosecutors are put in a situation because they usually work together. Usually the police officers are giving the prosecutors all the evidence when dealing with a normal case so when the situation is reversed and the prosecutor must indict a cop it sometimes put them in a bad situation. “Prosecutors face ‘an impossible conflict of interest between their desire to maintain working relationships and their duty to investigate and prosecute police brutality (Walter, Katz 239).” That statement supports the idea that there should not

Jeffery Rosen claims that every since the bombing attacks that took place on 9/11 has caused us to put our privacy up in exchange for acceptance and seems that people are more okay with it than they should be. According to Rosen, it already seems that privacy is already, in a state of advanced decay and every since 9/11 privacy has seemed to get thrown out of the window for a sense more of acceptance than for safety. Rosen thinks that "the naked machine" is partly what is to blame for this. He believes that the machine is unnecessary, absurd and humiliating. Within the article Rosen gives examples, instances, and even quotes people that have been a stooge to the naked machine. Another thing Rosen blames for this is the want for a connection

This article written by Alex S. Vitale discusses the need for a decrease of reliance in policing and an increase for greater community services. Vitale believes that in order to solve the problem of police misconduct, communities must first resolve their own neighborhood disorders. He believes that police should be removed from school districts. Vitale backs up his statement with studies that show juvenile students worsen the safety of the school and eventually become associated with much more serious crimes. Enlightening role models can enhance school safety, which then eliminates the problem of juvenile activity within school districts, resulting in the unnecessary need for police and reducing the misconduct that often takes place.
